[SU/D] Balamb Garden

[Dincht]

That's great Aaron - makes for a really good read.

I'm definitely happy to accept that. Damon, same goes for you my friend.

I should be able to get mine sorted tomorrow. I'm hoping for a bit more interest before we start.

On a side note, have people decided what canon characters they would like to play? If any.

 

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

Tbh I'm not really good with multiple characters so if its ok I'd like to just play mine x.x;

Looking forward to the start

 

[Paddy McGee]

Aye, I was absent from this site for a while...NOW I be back!!!!

Anyway... This interests me. I'd like to join. I'll post my character in the next week or so.

Also, I don't mind roleplaying canon characters... or creating fodder-style characters if that need arises.

 

[Yaoi Master Gavin]

Gonna have to type up mine....on top of another and a paper. At least I have a distraction from the paper.

 

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

Just a bit of personal Advice on the main page so people can find the other characters easier.

Put their Forum name | Character name | and link to the exact post of their profile

I'll use mine as a example.

Feel free to join Meteora. I would hope the RP will be up and running within the next week or so. So the sooner you can get an RP done and posted, the better .

I like the idea, and it was something I was thinking about anyway. To be honest, I don't actually know how to link the profile to the exact post that it needs to redirect to

Some help with that would be much appreciated!

Sorry for the quote overload guys. It's just much easier this way!

To get the exact post of a person theres a #XX at the top right of every post, just click that and it'll only show the post, just copy that url into the url tags

 

[Dincht]

So, we've had a couple of days of no activity - which suggests that there might not be many more people looking to join.

How would you guys feel about starting in a few days, with the 4 of us?

 

[Yaoi Master Gavin]

I could do that, soon as I finish the bio and this accursed research paper.

 

[Thief of Hearts Joker]

I don't mind starting with just the four of us, I'm sure others will join sooner or later

 

[Dincht]

That's awesome.

Aaron, as you said, I'm sure others will join along the way.

If you do want to play a Canon character as well as your OC, now would probably be a good time to 'claim' them - before someone else get's in there.

I'd like to go for Zell, if everyone is OK with that?

 

[Subtle-sounds]

are you still accepting bios?

id like either zell or rinoa if they are available if you prefer OCs id be happy to add a bio for mercy

 

[Dincht]

We are - The RP itself hasn't started yet.

Have you RP'd before, or are you relatively new to it? You may have a low post count, but you might have RP'd elsewhere

I'm hoping to get everything started this weekend, so I'd get your bio done soon if you can, Subtle-Sounds.

 

[Subtle-sounds]

ive rped before lol i rp in real life im a big fan of dungeons and dragons. and ill get onto that bio this evening

Name: Mercy Kodashi

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Weapons: Chakrams

((here))

Magic: Prefers to use buff and de-buff magic ((e.g.: Haste and slow the most occuring spells))

GF(s): Phayte (fate) : Tipping the scales - Casts haste on all party members and stop on all vulnerable opponents.

Items: Potion x 8 phoenix down x 2 antidote x 2 ((is there like a gil limit or rarity value? because i could have 99 megalixirs...))

Abilities:
Attack - Basic attack
Magic - Magical attack
Draw - Gain the powers of the opponent

Limit Break - Fate-weaving. Mercy breaks reality momentarily freezing time in order to destroy all opposing enemies (maximum of 3) ((would look like this please dont hate me: here ))

History:


Mercy has trained herself, pushed herself for so long now. it seems she just missed out because of her age at the time three years ago, now she was ready to face he world, only a few tests stood in her way, her GF assessment was almost a disaster, She had been in the fire cavern for nearly an entire day without encountering her test, She was going to leave but something blocked her way, it was her, but it wasnt her at the same time. It waslike looking at a parallel universes version of her, the chakrams and fightint style were the sae, as she soon vcame to realise.

Mercy fought herself for about 2 hours, but it ended in a stalemate. Thats when the other person smiled as she began to shine like an angel from the heavens "Fear not child" the figure said before dissapearing "Ill be there to make sure the scales are tipped in your favour"

And so here she is, ready to begin her final tests before becoming one of the mighty SeeD

 

[Lebreau]

If at all possible I'd like to join this I think. If you want the canon characters filled in, I'd snag Rinoa or perhaps Xu if she counts.

Otherwise I'll dig up an original instead. XD

It'll be at least until Saturday for a bio though, I have classes the next two days and I'm slow as hell.

Absolutely! I think it would be good to have a mix of canon and original characters within the RP - if you could do both, that would be brilliant. That's what I'm thinking of doing.

I'll pencil you in for Rinoa/Xu for now

 

[Lebreau]

I'm going to go ahead and make profiles for both Rinoa and Xu. That way if someone else wants either of them, I'll cover the other. And if no one wants one... I wouldn't mind doing both. I'm nearly done with Rinoa's, since I've been writing it in class like a bad student.

Can I ask how long after the game this takes place though? I need it for Rinoa's age at the very least.

I'd also like to ask a question or ten about magic. In the game, you could give Rinoa whatever magic you wanted. Should I just limit her to a type or two? Also, being a sorceress, would she be able to have more magic than others? How's this gonna work? :c If not more magic, perhaps slightly stronger? I'mma check on her in-game stats to see how much higher her magic was and such, but I really would love some help/question answering. Sorry for being so needy. :c

Edit: If I feel like being a super massive overacheiver, I could try for an original as well.. but that probably wouldn't go well. I don't think you want that. BUT if we don't have enough characters I will.

I think it was agreed that it would be set about 3 years from the main events of the game - mainly for the benefit of people's bio's.

A question or ten I don't think you need to limit magic to a type or two - just be smart about the use of it. I.E. don't use ultima, flare, Armageddon constantly. I agree, she could have slightly stronger magic and how she uses it could make the story quite interesting.

You're probably right about the original character thing. Maybe sticking to canon would be a good idea for now. You could always incorporate an original one later on.

Hope that's all ok

 

[Subtle-sounds]

ok im just working on the history for my character now... so close to completion and yet so so far

 

[Paddy McGee]

Firstly, I apologise for such a late post of this (unfinished) bio of my OC. Life got a bit hectic, and I didn't check this site after the forums went down for the upgrade... Anyway, here it is:




Name: Kaine McIvory

Age: 17 (DOB: 11/2/xxxx

Gender: Male

Appearance: (General look added as multimedia below)

physical specs: 5”9’ tall, average build, 170 pounds,

Weapons:

Strike-sword (colour scheme is black/silver)
Strange weapon of technical marvel, it is a mixture of a Zweihander style sword and chain. The hilt of the blade is a twohanded,leatherbound handle, with a throttle switch. It has three modes: Solid blade, blade sector mode (essentially a whip sword) and chain-blade mode. The sword’s blade is completely solid, but is connected to the hilt by a three-metre long chain, which is wound around a mechanism, which allows Kaine to increase the span, or return the blade to himself. This is controlled by a mixture of a throttle grip and a reel. The three functions are flicked between by a simple switch. As a prototype model, the Strikesword has a few bugs and defaults, mainly the high grade of repair needed. The expanding chain itself is resilient, being made from tempered tungsten. However, the reel mechanism is prone to overheating, locking the blade itself.

Magic: Thundara (x7) Fire(x9) cure(x3)

GF: Archangel Michael: Something of a hypocritical GF, he connected to Kaine due to his mischievous personality: (Michael is-in fact- the spirit of Mikhail, Kaine’s deceased Uncle and Godfather) . However, Michael will only aid Kaine in dire circumstances.

“El Shaddai’s spear of triumph”- a Holy based summoning attack, it deals massive damage against a singular enemy. (think in “Lionheart” proportions, but a single spear.) Michael can only be summoned once within a battle period.

Items: Strike sword- “Spitfire”. Potion x 5. Phoenix down x 2. Remedy x 3 Antidote x 3.

Abilities: Attack, Switch “strike mode”, magic, item, Reel.


Limit Break: Sword of Ruin
Kaine’s weapon is embedded with the non-elemental power of Ruin(FFXIII), increasing the power of his slashes and blows. Further levels(progress is allowed, correct?) allow the possibility of Kaine to increase his speed and strength, release the magic of Ruin in slashes, and create magical copies of his strike-sword.
.
　
Personality: A mix bag of sorts, Kaine is something of a happy-go-lucky type, with an adept talent for getting into mischievous trouble. He has a positive outlook on life in general, and is always willing to help others. However, he does have a bad reputation. He has faced the disciplinary board numerous times, and the disciplinary committee have a field on him. His main crimes seem to be that of petty thievery: Pens, paperclips… Small items. One could call him-perhaps- a kleptomaniac. He is obsessed with stealing- sometimes this is done sub-consciously. Kaine is intelligent and fairly friendly-to a degree. He is usually known on Campus as a lone wolf.
　
Kaine’s moral compass is set rightly true north. He knows right from wrong. However, he has something of a twisted sense of judgement. He feels people should have an “equality” style of punishment: what you do to others, they may do to you. In many situations, this has led to tension with others.



History: Born to a working class family in Galbadia, Kaine’s life from birth to his twelfth year was somewhat un-interesting, average and ordinary. His father worked as a factory floor worker, assembling weapons for the galbadian armament in both the fight against Adel, and later under sorceress Edea. His mother worked part-time as floor staff in a local department store. Being younger sibling to a brother and sister roughly 7 years older than he is, Kaine was alone quite a lot. Due to this, he never exactly bonded with his family. He had a small number of friends, but none shared much in common with him, and was eventually lost.
　
Life generally stayed the same, until Kaine’s 12[SUP]th[/SUP] year. While getting changed for Phys-Ed in his school, he overheard a group of classmates talking in hushed whispers about an institution named GARDEN. Intrigued, Kaine followed this eavesdropping up after he returned home- searching GARDEN online. Eventually-through the harsh impatience of a minute of searching- he found his answer: the homepage of Trabia Garden. With a quick scan of its history, Kaine already made up his mind. With something of a painful discussion with his family, he convinced them to allow him to transfer. Within six months, Kaine was on his way to Trabia to begin his studies.
　
His time in Trabia was quite insignificant, except for his choice of weaponry. As something of a lottery winner, Kaine was allowed the chance to test and master a prototype weapon: the Strikesword. As ,essentially, a human guinea pig, Kaine was enrolled into extra courses, to help speed up his rate of development and catch up to his peers- who had been present in the GARDEN since childhood. With his sheer grit and determination, he was able to reach the mid-tier by the next school year, and eventually the top twenty tier in his class, placed at 13[SUP]th[/SUP]. Even during this time at Trabia, Kaine still didn’t bond with many people- there were faces, but he forgot them within a short span of time.
　
It was this time that Kaine’s schooling-and life- took an unimaginable turn. The year of his fourteenth birthday, Kaine opted to again transfer- this time to Balamb GARDEN. The main reason being the SEED examination, which only takes place at Balamb (He felt he would gain from an early transfer, so that he’d get used to the general feel of Balamb’s area).
　
A lucky escape, as this was the year Commander Squall and his band of friends were set on their quest. Of course, Kaine was caught up in the trials and tribulations of that year: he participated in the Battle of the Gardens, and tried to go up against a group of five Galbadian Soldiers. Managing to take down one, and maim another in something of an unsuccessful attempt to prove himself- other students came to his aid, along with a seed member. This self-humiliation followed him post-war, and his attitude changed from a focused, intelligent and cold boy, into the happy-go-lucky type he is at seventeen.
　
His academic life is generally ordinary through the following three years and, on his seventeenth year, Kaine eventually made it to the Seed exam. Scraping a Pass on the written exam, Kaine set off for the practical. With Shiva in hand, and the usual instructor to accompany him, Kaine made it through the Fire Cavern; fought with ifrit and gained its abilities for Junction. Following a quick, low risk mission to conflict in the Timber area, Kaine is happy-along with the four other graduating members of his class- to pass…At rank 1... And so, Kaine sets off to increase his rank now…But will the Grey-haired rascal even live to reach rank two?
